Winter is coming – and so too are the Ice Castles.

The popular frozen attraction will return to Colorado following a two-year hiatus and set up in a new location in Cripple Creek.

Construction of the Ice Castles’ famous ice slides, tunnels, towers and crawl spaces will begin in October “in hopes of opening in late December, or early January, depending on the weather,” according to an announcement posted on social media.



Tickets will go on sale closer to the opening date.
